"Tell me, what is the difference between what you are doing now and what you were doing in the Guards?"

His voice was calm, but there was a wordless anger suppressed in his tone......

Dr. Nezu's words are not so much questioning Sawai as they are asking his own heart.

If you hadn't synthesized Zilda gas in the first place......

If I hadn't brought Zilda gas home and secretly researched it......

If I could have been with my daughter Asami for a long time......

As long as one of the above "ifs" had been realized, Dr. Nezu would not have ended up in such a miserable situation.

"The TPC is not a defense force and will not be a defense force."

Director Sawai's calm voice came from the headset, followed by the other party's firm conviction.

"Continuing to study Zilda gas is for a better future, so that humans can actually colonize Mars."

"Humanity is running out of time, so even if you take a little risk, you have to accelerate the pace of colonizing Mars."

There was a sudden pause in his voice, and Director Sakii continued.

"But judging from the current situation, it seems that Zilda Gas is hiding some other secrets?"

Director Sawai, who is familiar with Dr. Nezu's character, did not rush to ask anything, but developed his own speculation.

"Actually, I've been wondering for a long time......"

"If Zilda gas is really just a pure gas, even if its molecular structure is completely and fully burned, it will never have the power to destroy a city."

"Zilda gas, which is regarded as the starting point of 'new energy', is more like a form of 'nuclear energy' than 'combustible gas' in the conventional sense."

"But compared with ordinary nuclear energy, Zilda gas is obviously much 'safer'."

"At the very least, the Earth Defense Forces have not detected any dangerous residues similar to 'nuclear radiation' from the Zilda gas."

Although they couldn't see Director Sawai's expression now, it was not difficult for everyone present to imagine the seriousness and seriousness on the other party's face at the moment.

"Now that I think about it, it's not that there are no dangerous residues similar to nuclear radiation in Zilda's gas......"

"It's that the composition of that residue has surpassed human cognition, and the equipment of the defense forces has not been detected at all."

"In addition, since the establishment of TPC, Zilda gas has been completely mothballed."

"Therefore, as the only person who has personally experienced the explosion of Zilda, you should be the most likely person to know whether there are any dangerous residues of Zilda gas."

Every word of Director Sawai poked Dr. Nezu's heart.

"In fact, I checked your body report ......"

"Although from the perspective of various indicators, your physical examination reports over the years are normal."

"But I can see that you have been hiding something, and your body has already had abnormal lesions."

"Just like that parrot Silas......"

Without continuing to speak, Director Sawai gave his former friend plenty of buffer time.

At the same time, the coastline is on the edge.

"Tomoko, is it already certain?"

Walking leisurely on the beach, Lu Xuan opened his arms in a rare relaxed gesture, feeling the breeze blowing on his cheeks.

[It can be concluded that Dr. Nezu has an energy index in his body that is as easy to normalize as Silas.] 】

[But unlike Silas's 'benign mutation', Dr. Nezu's body has undergone some kind of irreversible 'malignant lesion'......]

[If there is no external interference, he will have a maximum of one to two years to live. 】

Hearing this, Lu Xuan withdrew his outstretched arms, and then sighed.

"Looks like things are exactly what I guessed......"

"The gas produced by the Zilda gas explosion can not only make ordinary creatures mutate in a short period of time, but even give them the possibility to evolve into monsters."

What is a monster?

That's at the top of all food chains.

In the words of Shaji, it is the true child of the planet, an existence that will always be favored by the mother planet.

"Tomoko, do you think it's really just a coincidence?"

"In ancient times, before the birth of human beings, certain creatures evolved into monsters standing at the top of the food chain in order to escape the irresistible natural disasters."

"And in this era when the evil god is about to recover, there are some creatures that have the possibility of evolving into monsters by chance."

"Could this be what Sha Ji often says, that the planet under our feet is actually fighting against the 'darkness' that will eventually come in its own way?"

From the rational perspective of a scientist, Lu Xuan has always scoffed at Sha Ji's rhetoric.

However, the appearance of Silas seems to verify the statement of the Shaji to some extent.

Whenever life on Earth is facing a catastrophe, Mother Earth will help them escape it in her own way.

This is the will of the planet and the brilliance of life.

[Judging by my logic, this is most likely just a coincidence. 】

It's rare that Silas hasn't been analyzed with pure data, and Tomoko's voice is as cold as ever.

[Just like the boss you once said, life will always find its own way out. 】

Perhaps, Silas's existence is just a case of life looking for a way out. 】

Without refuting Zhizi's words, Lu Xuan just looked in the direction of the other side of the sea and fell into a long-lost contemplation.

Because at this moment, Lu Xuan thought of the "Flower of Qigela", which was the last to appear in Tiga TV.

It is also a monster that evolved from ordinary life, and the purpose of the flower of Zigera in the first place seems to be to make the creatures on the earth fall into illusion and eternal sleep.

Is this an attribute of the Flower of Zigera itself?

Or is it the last mercy of the earth itself for those beings who are about to be consumed by darkness?

Regardless of the truth, this is a question worth spending some time and energy on Lu Xuan to explore.

But before that, Lu Xuan had to deal with the all-earth defense force base from Asia.

After all, it's not just Zilda gas that's having problems......

Compared with the strange bird Silas, who has not yet completed its transformation and evolution, the monster that appeared due to the "Mars Atmospheric Environment Transformation Plan" is a super natural disaster that really deserves TPC's attention.

If it is not handled carefully, the entire planet's ecosphere will be changed.

At that time, no matter how much Mother Earth cares for her children, she can only watch them die out and become extinct.
